Cairbre House, Abbeyside, Dungarvan, Co. Waterford, Southern Ireland Reviewer: Teacher from The Cotswolds, UK April 23rd 2009 We have visited Southern Ireland for a week, each year for the past 20 years.

My friend and I stayed at the Cairbre house our first night in Ireland. Brian was wonderful. From the minute we walked in he was lovely and willing to assist us in any way he could. We had a lovely room and I must say the attention to detail was phenomenal. Everything was beautiful and purple! Brian assisted us in... more

My friend and I were in the "purple" room, and everything was color-coordinated and lovely. Brian gave us a complete run-down of where to eat in town, and offered up his collection of menus for our... more
